First kisses sometimes wake slumbering princesses, undo spells, and spark happily ever afters.
Mine broke Bale.
Seventeen-year-old
Snow has spent her life locked in Whittaker Psychiatric—but she isn’t
crazy. And that’s not the worst of it. Her very first kiss proves
anything but innocent…when Bale, her only love, turns violent.Despite
Snow knowing that Bale would never truly hurt her, he is taken
away—dashing her last hope for any sort of future in the mental ward she
calls home. With nowhere else to turn, Snow finds herself drawn to a
strange new orderly who whispers secrets in the night about a mysterious
past and a kingdom that’s hers for the taking—if only she can find her
way past the iron gates to the Tree that has been haunting her dreams.Beyond
the Tree lies Algid, a land far away from the real world, frozen by a
ruthless king. And there too await the River Witch, a village boy named
Kai, the charming thief Jagger, and a prophecy that Snow will save them
all.
